Samsung Galaxy Note 10 to come with a ‘Time of Flight’ sensor, hints new report

The report also adds that KOLEN is planning to produce lenses for the TOF modules and that Samsung will extend the application of these lenses to more of its phones, including Note 10. A representative for KOLEN also told the publication, “We are planning to produce lenses through our new plant in Vietnam according to Samsung Electronics’ plan to expand application of TOF lenses for its Smartphones.”

The new plant could have production capacity of 12 million lenses per month and would help the company nearly double its current production capacity, which is at 13 million lenses. The report also says that KOLEN has chosen Vietnam as the country for its new plant due to the partnership with Samsung, and given that the South Korean company is manufacturing a majority of its phones in the country.

Samsung Galaxy Note+ could have four cameras on the back, where the time of flight sensor will be the fourth option in addition to the main 12MP sensor, the 12MP depth sensor and the 16MP ultra-wide sensor. The camera will be arranged vertically, rather than the horizontal approach we saw on the S10 phones.

The Galaxy Note 10+ will also have a bigger display compared to the regular Note phone. Samsung has also confirmed that the phone will come with the pin-hole camera on the front or what it calls the ‘Infinity-O’ display. But leaked images show that the Note 10+ will have the front camera placed bang in the centre, rather than to the side.
